So it has to do with *process marked* articles. Btw, here's the docstring of 'J #': Mark the next N articles as downloadable. If N is negative, mark backward instead. If UNMARK is non-nil, remove the mark instead. The difference between N and the actual number of articles marked is returned. So you should simply try 'C-u 5037 J #' without anything before it. > Further, once I have manually marked a number of messages with > the `%' how to tell agent to go ahead and download them? > > Doing C-h b on summary buffer and searching in many ways .... first > off finding all `gnus-agent ...' hits.
